In our Planathon Group – oh yes, our annual Planathon is coming soon!!! – one of the questions that recently came up is the question of: how do I know if it is time to hire.
I’m coming at you from Addis Ababa Ethiopia and sharing: 4 signs that it might be time for you to hire.
First, we’ll go back in time to 2011 when I made my first hire in my business. Then we’ll slowly journey back to present day as we explore:
- Signs that it may be time for you to hire
- How to differentiate between leading your business and running your business
- What it is to be a visionary
- How to communicate work with team members (and maybe even husbands… ;)) to bring the vision to life
- If you are stuck in a middle-class mindset around hiring
- What self-made millionaires and billionaires know about hiring that you may want to tap into!
I can’t wait to time travel together.
